Congress will reconvene this week, and Democrats are actively preparing to prevent Trump from acting unilaterally. Some Democratic senators have stated that if a war is to be waged, it must be approved by Congress. They have condemned Trump's military actions against Iran as "an illegal war" and are preparing to push for a vote on a war powers resolution this week, encouraging lawmakers to exercise the power granted to the legislative branch by the Constitution. The House of Representatives is also considering a vote on war powers, which may take place on Wednesday, while the Republicans hold only a very slim majority. Republican Representative Warren Davidson said again on Sunday morning that he had not yet accepted the necessity of the military action - which has given some Democratic representatives more confidence in making Trump "lose his wings". However, Democrats are not without difficulties. Within the left wing, Middle Eastern political issues remain a highly divisive topic of contention, and this military operation may disrupt several key primary elections scheduled this month. The joint U.S.-Israel military operation has directly brought the relationship between the two countries to the center of national political debate, and the role of politically allied organizations such as the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee in the Democratic primaries has also become a focus. This committee has praised Trump's military action and is investing heavily in these primaries.
